Holiday Inn Resort Kissimmee by the Parks

Kissimmee, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

For great value, family-friendly accommodation within a stone's throw of Walt Disney World, look no further than the recently remodelled Holiday Inn Resort Kissimmee by the Parks – showing that you don’t necessarily need to book an on-site hotel to be in the heart of the action. The hotel includes a complimentary shuttle service to Walt Disney World (the short trip that it is!) as well as Universal Studios and even the Lake Buena Vista outlets when you want a break from the thrills and spills. Start your day with the fabulous waffles that are on offer at the H Street Grille buffet breakfast, grab a Starbucks from the lobby, and you’ll be all set for wherever you’re heading. There’s no need to leave if you don’t want to though, chill by the pool or let the little ones roam in the indoor play area – you’ll find it hard to tear them away! If it’s the older ones that are looking for some action, book a session at the Topgolf swing suites, you don’t need to be a golf fan to enjoy yourself here, there’s no experience required!

Absolute nightmare from start to finish, no booking found at reception on check in, sat in the lobby for hours trying to get hold of virgin. 3 of us made to sleep in a double bed due to them over booking. Kids running riot every night. Don't book !

From the moment I arrived, the reception staff especially Isabella Ginnete, were warm, professional, and always ready to help. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service from all staff throughout the hotel was excellent. Every part of my stay was smooth and enjoyable. A truly 5-star experience!

The wellness room had a refreshed feeling to it. Very clean and up to date. Good price and beautiful grounds. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent. If I stay in Kissimmee again, this is where I will stay. I highly recommend staying here!

They have a nice pool with a pool bar as well as an inside bar and Starbucks. They also have an arcade and an indoor childrens play area with a large climbing gym for kids. It was in a great location, not too far from parks or restaurants. The room was clean. It was easy to get to. The check in was easy.

Great venue; gem in the wall getaway for wedding, reception, reunion or birthday party. Very affordable! Rooms were surprising in good condition. Pool area was clean and accommodating inclusive of cabana. Ballrooms were impressive and staff worked hard to make it a memorable experience.
